Elon Musk says he will step down as CEO of Twitter “as soon as I can find someone foolish enough to take the job.”
The billionaire entrepreneur, who acquired the social media company at the end of October in a deal worth $44 billion, made the statement in a tweet on Tuesday night, adding that once a new CEO is in place, he will “just run the software and servers teams.”
The decision to step down as CEO follows a Twitter poll conducted by Musk last week in which he asked” “Should I step down as the head of Twitter?” He added at the same time that he would abide by the results of the poll.
